Joining the MASTER RACE...with a LAPTOP?

[@HIIMUsc]

i lost it at the 144 fps-counter 😂😂😂

[@bostic8683]

lol 5fps fa days

[@Rose-yu9nn]

1:53 - 1:55 Thats what she said.

[@HIIMUsc]

didnt expect this to get pinned and massive likes, thanks a lot! :D

[@basshead.]

A fun fact: The human eye can't see more than 90fps and that's why VR headsets are 90hz.

[@meatisomalley]

fun fact basshead, not sure if you're intentionally spreading misinformation, but that fact is extremely reductive and factually incorrect. For starters, because of something called bloch's law, there is no consistent 'framerate' that we can gauge the human eye to see. (with that being said, almost no one would perceive change past 250 FPS, regardless of conditions.) Likewise, just because a game is running in 90 fps and a monitor is 90 hz, doesn't mean that the eye is perceiving every frame, because frame rate and hz level aren't always synced together.

[@shtiken]

By the way, keep in mind that the laptop probably operates at a lower performance level in games when not plugged in.

[@jerrycihangir2129]

[@madmagician4230]

+Po Tato would you carry your desktop and your monitor or tv while traveling? with a laptop you can just plug it and you're ready to go

[@gandagaming9245]

You need to enable vsync to eliminate screen tearing

[@supersnail5000]

Ganda Gaming It can introduce more input delay so in a fighting game, it may be better to just leave it.

[@SomeoneWhosAnonymous]

Gabriel Balaich how much of a difference does gsync make?

[@jetgold]

G sync keeps the monitor fresh rate and game run at the same refresh rate so it is suppose to stop screen tearing, that is if the game company puts the option in graphics setting. plus for the lap top under system info will tell you if the screen is G sync compatible . side note AMD use the same thing but calls it some thing , whew lotta text. all of course can be looked up on good Ect. good luck.

[@Azurephoenix13x]

If you're rambling about presentation, then you probably don't care that much about input latency.

[@cl4ster17]

Does this specific laptop support Gsync? It usually introduces a price premium of 100-200 bucks if you look at mostly identical screens like the Asus MG279Q (FreeSync) and PG279Q (GSync). KERNAL GSync does make a noticeable difference when running at up to 60 FPS (even on 240 Hz display). Overall gameplay feels smoother and obviously no tearing. To enable it, you have to set monitor technology in the Nvidia Control Panel to Gsync. I personally have disabled VSync off globally so that Gsync will turn off once FPS exceed 165 FPS (165 Hz display) for games like CSGO where any kind of FPS-lock is pure hell. All other games benefit from GSync because most of them run at 40-100 FPS. I have not encountered any game that doesn't work with Gsync.

[@rainZSlayer]

Cortana sounds really cute in Japanese!! =D

[@DigitalMonsters]

2:31 "and a snack" xD Loved it.

[@mortalmars3881]

To fix screen tearing on any game, just enabled "V-Sync". Most games should have a V-Sync option but if they don't you can force it through the Nvidia Control Panel. Just note that V-Sync locks the frame rate at 60. If you want 60+ without screen tear you would need a G-Sync monitor.

[@Kelvin-um8li]

The thing with vsync is that it gives you input lag. You can choose input lag over screen tearing, but I don't think it is worth it.

[@mortalmars3881]

Kelvin The input lag is very minimal to the point of barely noticing it. Screen tearing can ruin the experience of an entire game. If you're that serious about input lag then your best bet is to get a G-sync (nvidia gpu) or Free Sync (amd gpu) monitor.

[@Kelvin-um8li]

I personally never played a fighting game on a pc or with a controller, so I can't speak for the game NihongoGamer was playing. I found out that the input lag issue varies significantly from different games. Like you said, I barely got any input lag on certain games, but a specific game (Overwatch) caused major issues for me because of the severe delay. By the way, I already have a g-sync monitor for my desktop; this was my experience when I was gaming on my gaming laptop.

[@88oscuro]

Could also be an issue about the game not working well in fullscreen mode.

[@warmerspy]

I don't care what PC you play on. If you're playing games on PC you're in the master race. So yea welcome to the master race! Hope you enjoy the nice graphics, Steam sales, and the 60+ fps.

[@hadookin47]

Finally, a level-headed person.

[@bannykuthernado312]

warmerspy am i in the master race if i play on a laptop with integrated graphics that can run modern games at lowest settings at 640x480p to 720p at 20-50 fps?

[@poopstick7809]

Banny Kuthernado 20-50 is still better than console's 30fps

[@warmerspy]

Yea Just enjoy your games. You don't always have to play on highest settings. To be fair I don't care if you play on console or PC or even on your phone. If you like the games you play then good for you. It's like if someone would argue about how you should watch a movie. At the end of the day, It's just entrainment. You just choose how to enjoy it. Depending on what you like and what you can afford.

[@bannykuthernado312]

lol i didnt mean it as like im a console peasant but yeah

[@SadSalaryMan]

Very cool to see you giving the new PC a go! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

[@kutaoizumi4189]

In today's video: Nihongo-master race.

[@15683218]

Dude, solid review! One suggestion, you may want to put "Alienware R3 13" in the title, otherwise it's a little hard to find. Excellent job!

[@Razyre]

Screen tearing is caused by the frame rate being much higher than that of the refresh rate of the screen. You can't fix it without either having a variable refresh rate display with a high ceiling (120/144Hz for e.g.) or turning on V Sync but you can't do that for your fighting games because the input lag would ruin your life haha. Just something you'll have to deal with. Did you not get the OLED model? That thing looks to die for.

[@schyro6367]

Rossco does the 144hz monitor fix that?

[@Razyre]

Schyro only if you aren't exceeding 144fps in the game. Variable refresh displays output the same number of frames the game produces unless you are under its minimum cap (e.g. 30fps) or above its maximum (e.g. 144). Tearing is caused by the GPU throwing new frames far out of sync with refresh, so you get two parts of a different frame when the screen refreshes instead of one whole frame.

[@ZommyTheZombie]

If there's a way to limit FPS, that would probably do it as well (60fps // 60hz)

[@Razyre]

ZommyTheZombie Yeah, frame limits cause horrible input lag.

[@ZommyTheZombie]

Is that just a Street Fighter thing? Haven't heard of input lag in other games in all honesty.

[@finegamingconnoisseur]

Great video, I just bought mine a few minutes ago as it was on clearance sale. It’s a pity Alienware isn’t going to continue this model in their product line.

[@thedarkestbozu]

Congratulations with your purchase :). There's many pros and cons in PC gaming, but nowadays PC as gaming platform is pretty strong. What I love about PC gaming is that you can play anything that had been released on PC (plus emulation of old console games). This way you won't end up with nothing interesting to play. BTW you said that it's too expensive to buy PC components - how much does GTX1060 is cost in Japan? Do bitcoin miners affect Japan as well? =)

[@snitttyyy]

the cheapest i could find was about 260USD, but it is one from a small company from china. www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%8E%84%E4%BA%BA%E5%BF%97%E5%90%91-%E3%83%93%E3%83%87%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89GEFORCE-GF-GTX1060-3GB-OC-DF/dp/B01KNVBJOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499607020&sr=8-1&keywords=gtx+1060+3gb The gpus from companies such as gigabyte and msi run for 300USD... Btw, 1070s run for 550USD and 1080s run for 800USD...We have it tough

[@thedarkestbozu]

Woah, I consider myself pretty lucky for buying rx480 G1 8gb 2 month ago, right before that "mining" hype.

[@EyeSayUhh92]

I'm so happy to see you enjoying your shiny new Pc! I built my first Pc recently in an attempt to get into PC gaming and I love it so far. As far as video direction goes I say feature games across all platforms you have available to you. Gaming is fun and you have the opportunity to showcase a lot of different opinions and content by showing different, even the same games on both console and PC.

[@goldentrout4811]

Screen tearing? Try adjusting your refresh rates. Or cap your fps in-game if available. Some games enable V-sync or G-sync where it synchronizes your fps with the monitor refresh rates. This reddit thread might help: www.reddit (dot) com/r/buildapc/comments/4p0q7a/lets_talk_about_vsync_freesync_gsync_adaptivesync/

[@Scree7ch]

The way you're holding it from the bottom got me sweating

[@_isawasd]

To fix the screen tearing, try turn the "v-sync" on

[@prodnuri]

Isa he could but since he would be playing a bunch of fighting games he would want the least input lag as possible

[@godz2928]

does turning v sync delays more the input?

[@REDCELL]

Godz29 Yeah, by a few milliseconds I think... (Sometimes there will be none but, eh.)

[@chrischoy9]

Yeah, it does and it can be annoying if your game has skill checks.

[@ThumbsUpKitty]

I'm waiting for mine to get here, mine is bigger but this is the funnest review so far. I like seeing someone with genuine enthusiasm about something i just spent over $2000 on. (base price was on sale for about 1200 from DELL but I did add all the extra bells and whistles. Thanks for the review.

[@saunshilu]

[@itsarcelle]

Kaito Yukihiro A workstation is still a PC, as that functionality is there for it to be, and it's simply optimized for handling workloads such as editing and rendering and neural networks and whatnot. A personal computer, or PC, just means a computer for general use. There are specific specializations for them, such as a workstation PC or a gaming PC, but a laptop is no more of a PC than a desktop, and vice verse. You're creating divisions that are unnecessary and incorrect.

[@itsarcelle]

I never said anything that conflicts that. I specifically stated "a laptop is no more of a PC than a desktop, and vice verse. You're creating divisions that are unnecessary and incorrect." The only error there is "vice verse," which should read as, "vice versa." You, however, with the both of your comments, contradicted that entirely. Again, you are creating unnecessary and blatantly incorrect divisons. Are you dim?

[@张冰星]

What's up! NihongoGamer! I just follow u couple days ago. Love ur video. May I ask what are u using for recording audio?

[@theheadlessjackfrost679]

I like both console and pc.

[@antonm_]

Try turning on "V-Sync" if that option is available. Your GPU will sync with your display rate, which would eliminate tearing. If it is not available, you can enable V-Sync on your NVidia driver control panel.

[@lobstershrimp]

Greetings from Taiwan! You should've gone with the Asus ROG Series, I got GL502VM with i7-7700 / GTX1060 6GB VRAM / 256 M.2 SSD + 1TB 7200 RPM HDD (I upgraded to 1TB SSD) / 16GB RAM / 1080P IPS display with G-Sync which prevents screen tearing. On top of that there's USB Type-C Gen 2 and the backlit keyboard has numpad. I paid USD1750.

[@chaz8652]

Johnny Tang All at the at the price as alienware with 8gb ram and gtx 1050ti lmao

[@corvusclemmons5753]

I agree you can get a 1070 for only 1650$ so it is a much better deal

[@godzaellagodzaella9545]

weird but the alienware store in my country also sell it with 1080P FHD IPS 120Hz G-Sync but it cost more fcks

[@thesolidnick]

Great video! I've been thinking about getting a gaming PC, but still in doubt about getting a laptop or desktop... well, life is full of decisions... have some great gaming time with it!

[@seandodd2471]

download msi afterburner and rivatuner once running rivatuner lock you're fps to 58 or 59 this should help if you are not using a g-sync or free-sync display also in game options depending on the game turn on v-sync

[@chaz8652]

Sean Dodd Why 59 but not 60?

[@joobaggs6886]

Did you get the G-SYNC option for the LCD screen? That helps with screen tearing and smoothness on most games. Seems like only the GTX 1070 GPU has a G-SYNC LCD option. I would upgrade to the 120 HZ option for smoother game play. I would see if you could exchange it for the better GPU and LCD. Dell usually has a good return policy. If not you could try an external G-SYNC monitor.

[@movement1957]

I'm glad you expanded to PC. maybe I'll buy one soon now. I like the fact that you can future proof the GPU ,but the cost is so high if I want to play the PC games on ultra. and that's what I want if... that's what I need to see. I think with HDR and 4k is the future and the future is here at a way cheaper cost on console. for 500 bucks I think Xbox x is a great deal but for now I'm happy with my PS4 switch combo. but maybe your experience will sell me

[@nicholasrios565]

Richard Camacho dont buy a laptop or prebuilt desktop. it defeats the purpose of saving money. build your pc

[@OTPulse]

Richard Camacho : $500 for the XB1X seems like a good deal, but it's severely limited by its CPU then the highly likely situation were developers will be too lazy to use the extra power & just make games to PS4-Pro level & port that with all the same upscale trickery.

[@saunshilu]

Richard Camacho its not really recommended to future proof your gpu and cup but your based five and power supply since they aren't constantly evolving like GPU's and CPU's

[@movement1957]

Brickbrickerson but I get some value for that online service. and I get two games a month to try free. I do see your point

[@saunshilu]

Richard Camacho if your paying for a service that gives you "FREE" games then those games are not free...also I can get a much better deal with HumbleBundle than any console subscription

[@BrannonGaming]

Hook it up to an external monitor/TV (13inches make me shudder lol, I have a 13 MBP though, couldn't imagine certain games on it). Look into the Steam Link product to see if you'll like it. Also, in the future if you want a desktop you could buy used parts like RAM, CPU, MOBO, & a quality PSU. Everything else I'd buy new. Sick laptop, btw.

[@BrannonGaming]

Yes, I watched the video. I have no insight on the prices in Japan whatsoever, I just gave a suggestion that works for a lot of people. Also, used parts generally come from another person instead of a company, so the price is negotiable.

[@thomaskee249]

Try turning on V-Sync to fix screen tearing. If the game doesn't not offer the option you may be able to enable it in your NVidia driver controls. Screen tearing occurs when the framerate outputted by the graphics card and the refresh rate of your monitor don't match. V-sync does some extra processing to make sure it's locked to a consistent frame rate to eliminate tearing. It can lower performance, but it is not usually an issue. Some displays have a variable refresh rate that works in tandem with the GPU to fix this problem, look for free sync or G-Sync for that technology. I also have a gaming notebook. It's an ASUS G751JT and it's stupidly big and heavy, but the GTX970M still plays games quite well and is good for video rendering. For my next PC, I'm looking at a Surface Pro 5 as I really need something to draw on and that weighs less than the 10lbs my current setup weighs.

[@AzariusR]

[@jamesinator100]

[@AzariusR]

I know but I would assume you would actually pick some laptop with reasonable pricing and not for looks and branding, because if a Laptop is focused on Looks above all else, the Laptop itself will have to compromise it's performance just for thinnest which....I don't think the money is worth for looks. It's a semi Apple argument but yes I do agree that it still gives what you paid for.

[@SashaMasonVR]

Alien Ware is overpriced. Buy a desktop PC with no brand on it that you pay for at all, have something that is better in every aspect except portability and use the money that you saved from not paying for a name to invest into better hardware.

[@jamesinator100]

Yeah I think I can agree there. The German Mason, Nihongo did mention that it is more expensive to buy PC parts in Japan due to the nature they are sold and also mentioned he would rather have a gaming laptop so he can take it to his studio mostly.

[@nicholasrios565]

[@Piercingthesky1]

and for screen tearing, this laptop is built to run games at 1080p med to max settings. Do not turn on the vsync for competitive games they will be so laggy. If you are playing single player games then turn vsync on as it will make games more fluid

[@chiefmegadeth]

tried gaming on PC when Battlefield 2 and Half life 2 and Far cry 1 where kind of newish back in the day. lasted about 4 months before i went back to Consoles... maybe one day ill try again. but i didnt like it back then. ill just stick to Xbox Playstation and Nintendo Switch for now. looks like a nice gaming PC

At the time i had ATI X700 graphics card i had AMD 64bit the 1st of its kind for gaming,back than. im not ready to try again. because if im going to game on PC again, i want to hit untapped fps and native 4k ultra with HDR. i know that will be hella expensive in Australia.

[@joshpobje6938]

christopher gonzalez Alienware isn't that bad but the point you've made has absolutely nothing to do with anything mate. paying that small fee monthly will end up costing more in the long run than just buying it outright so why even bring it up. People's complaints about Alienware isn't the fact that they don't have enough money to buy their products it's just why should they if there's alternatives that can be objectively better at a cheaper price.

[@shtiken]

Personally I use a desktop gaming PC since I don't need portability, my main use of it is to play multiplatform games that are 30fps on console in 60fps on PC. However, if I'm being honest, if I were forced to either get rid of my consoles or get rid of my PC, I would get rid of my PC. Mainly because there are just way too many games I'm interested in on console that aren't on PC, can't say the same about PC. I also like the more tailored experience on console. Frankly, if there was a console that can do 60fps in pretty much every game I'd lose most interest in gaming PCs.

I respect your choice. If it was me I would choose PC for VN games you can't buy on gaming console. Laptops today are almost to par with desktops and PS4 Pro and Xbox one can mostly play at 60fps on 1080p.

[@shtiken]

MangaMatt Sure, natural that you'd gravitate towards where the content you like can be found. PS4 PRO is good for the price, but only a handful of 30fps games offer a 60fps mode, and it's still value oriented hardware. It was just a hypothetical situation where a high end expensive console exists.

to eliminate screen tearing just cap your fps close to your refresh rate, for example ~140 with 144Hz screen or ~58 with 60Hz screen (personally i had the best results with MSI afterburner, but there are many ways to do this). If you are lazy you can just turn on V-sync but this can add a lot of input lag depending on the type, so i highly recommend capping if you don't have free- or G-sync.

It's a nice video and all but the one thing that I find mindblowing is HOW WELL YOUR ENGLISH IS. It's clean and not convoluted by any means with japanese accent (I'm assuming you're a Japanese from your channel name, so). And I assume japanese who are able to do this usually spent their childhood or at least a lot of their time abroad in an english speaking country, maybe at least for three years? I know that there are millions of Japanese and no way that a good percentage of them can't speak english well, and I would find them if I search for them (or go out more, you name it) but. BUT, in mainstream media or generally everywhere I see, Japanese generally have bad english accent, convoluted by their unique japanese accent. Even voice actors got it bad... you see what I'm getting at? Watching you just shines a new light on me. You're probably the first average guy who speaks english really well I see on youtube, the other guy being Michio Kaku. But he doesn't count because he's pretty much a god, not a mere mortal.

Quetzal Coatl I don't see why. Besides he said building a PC isn't practical in Japan.

[@Farbklex]

Nothing wrong with that. Used to play on a gaming notebook for two years since I was traveling a lot.

[@davidrojas9668]

LgtRush-GP Who were you referring to?

[@GeekJohn]

@NihongoGamer You need to enable V-Sync to get rid of screen tearing, if there's no such option in the game settings (it could be VSYNC or Vertical Synchronization), you can force it for a specific application through Nvidia Control Panel (can be found by right clicking in an empty spot on your desktop). Enjoy your new Laptop, love your videos so far :)

You can officially join to PC Master Race just by prefering PC over console. It doesn't matter even if you still play on console.

[@Kuro_kon]

clearly Japan hasn't stuffed a gtx 1080 into a micro atx case before. that what I call an efficient use of space.

[@Zytomega]

Sad thing is, I joined back then in 2012 with an Alienware too, and now its pretty 'old' I mean it still is powerful and run some modern games but not at max, it feels weird to have an alienware that it's less powerful than a lot of more common/normal ones now. True PC gaming is on desktop as well, but after seeing what your said I think is perfect for you. Congrats and enjoy!

[@hollowficate]

Console and I have 2 reasons. (1) Convenient (I don't have to deal with PC problems bull****.) (2) Exclusives game.

[@OTPulse]

strange they are the two reasons I mainly play on PC. 1) Don't have to deal with console garbage controllers, paid online, toxic community, slow updates, broken games that stay broken ect. 2) Exclusive genres,Exclusive games, cheaper prices & superior mods. Nintendo's exclusives are the only unique games out of the consoles worth getting these days.

[@saunshilu]

OTPulse my nigga

[@graphicdefault603]

I cant see your points. Because 1) there are little to no problems on PC, and if there are in most situations it can be fixed very easily. and 2) xbox exclusives are on PC and with PSnow on PC, PS3 and PS4 exclusives are on PC

[@joshpobje6938]

hollowficate Consoles are absolutely fine so don't make up excuses on why you use them because 1) consoles have as many problems as pc, usually pcs are easier to repair 2) pc also have exclusive games but overall exclusives are fucked, they're companies locking some gamers out of their games just because of the platform they play on.

[@OTPulse]

Josh Pobje : PC exclusives are for the most part only a thing because of consoles lack of controller options, excessive licensing fees & terrible update restrictions.

[@santiagoc15]

Congrats on the new computer :) ps: great video, keep up with the great work.

Alienware is one of the best gaming laptop brands.

[@chrischoy9]

Lol, it does have the hardware to back it up.

[@lordeuronymous]

Desmond Alienware offers I9 processor and full 1080 over clocked so it is a damn beast. I have it too. In the R5 laptop

V-sync settings help screen tearing, make certain you look for that setting, turn it on. your framerate might drop just a little, but it should help the screen tearing immensely.

[@NateDawgg420]

To fix screen tearing you need to cap your fps the same as your screen refresh rate. you can find your max refresh rate in the nvidia control panel. V-sync works good at preventing screen tearing but g-sync is better because it doesn't make stuttering, if your laptop or monitor even has it.

[@yebo1457]

Wow, you make me wanna get a laptop instead of a desktop! And now that I think about it, if I did do this I could use the potential desktop space for a console instead.

[@blade101789]

As someone who likes building mini-itx portable PC's I don't blame you for buying a laptop if PC parts in certain areas of Japan are expensive. In the future I would suggest just using a laptop and stand alone drawing tablet. I use a Artisul D13 and it's only $400 and can be powered by USB port. Great video +like

[@patocrioyo1383]

Hey, since you have an nVidia graphics card you should try Fast Sync going to its control panel from the desktop, hitting "Manage 3D settings" and scroll down to "Vertical Sync", then choose "Fast". That'll fix screen tearing while keeping input lag to the minimum. It's MUCH better than Vsync and you can take advantage of it without having a Gsync display. I have a 1070 and I've been using it for the past two months, works great to me. Now if you want the least input lag for fighting games (which I don't play so I don't mind) you'll probably have to put up that screen tearing.

[@AnthonySalierno]

You are the first person to give a great reason for buying a laptop instead of "well building a pc is hard"

[@GROWLfactory]

Does KOF have the option to turn on V-Sync? If so, turn it on, it syncs the entire screen so there is no screen tearing.

[@micks4522]

screen tearing is caused my excess frames. Since I assume the laptop only has a 60hz screen. Turn on vsync if there's a setting for it

[@Totenglocke42]

Regarding the screen tearing issue, that is usually fixed by enabling v-sync. It should be in the games graphics options, otherwise you can force it through the Nvidia control panel.

[@votaveri]

V-Sync fixes Screen tearing but also caps your fps at what ever your monitor is set to. (60 or 120 or 144 or 240) You will find it in the game settings

[@xtraflo]

Joining the PC Master Race with THIS Alienware Laptop makes Lots of sense... I bought this same laptop a few months ago and I'm in Love with it. Since 1999, I've Always built my own Gaming rig and it was time to upgrade once again with a whole new setup. The components inside this machine are Stellar. Performance is mind-blowing considering it's coming out of a Laptop !!. If you have anything Negative to say about this particular Alienware product, then you simply have never used one. Plus, the Price to Performance you get out of this is completely on par with Any desktop build you could create....

[@cellprocessing6832]

Screen tearing happens most often when game is running faster than the refresh rate of your monitor. Try turning on V-sync or Vertical Sync. If the game is not running smooth. And seems choppy or studdery. What we call studder. Try turning graphics settings down. Quick class on Graphics settings. Texture settings are the surface image applied to all 3D models. Looks at texture settings as like setting the megapixel output on your camera. The higher you go. The higher the detail on the 3D model. The more detail you use. The more vido memory it will take up. Anistropic filtering is fix clarity introduced between textures upclose on the screen and far away. Most modren GPU can do this with out a performance hit. Always try on, 16x or 8x first. Anti Aliasing is to correct the stair steping mostly seen on diagonal lines on a monitor. But lower resolution monitors like 1080 and below still have this issue. Less of a big deal on higher resolution monitors like 4K. Most common is FXAA and MSAA. FXAA is less intensive both on your GPU and Video Ram. It works by adding a filter over the entire image to blur the lines so stair stepping is not so noticeable. But FXAA can often make things not look as sharp on the background. Also games have 2D alphas in them. Like Chainlink fences often. FXAA will remove any Stair Stepping from them. MSAA works only on the edges of 3D objects. It can make a much cleaner image. How ever at a much more heavy usage of the GPU and Vram. THe higher you set MSAA x2,x4,x8 more vram you will use up too. It also can not correct jagged lines on 2D effects.

[@Piercingthesky1]

just a tip, I have the same one, if you lift it up off the table say with a laptop stand, the temp will be about 4c lower. I make it stand on a mouse pad box angled about 60 degrees lol

[@PcGameHunter]

The way to get rid of screen-tearing is to enable "V-sync", basically it syncs the frames rendered by the GPU to the refresh rate of the screen. However that means that if the FPS drops bellow what the V-sync is set to (Default is 60, some have half-frame or 30FPS) it will make the screen wait for the frames to render, which may cause a noticeable sluggishness and input delay. So basically if the game can't run at 60/30FPS constantly. V-sync is a trade-off between delay and screen tearing.

[@twall4381]

Have you checked out MSI's lineup of laptops, they have great performance but are also a lot thinner and come in larger display sizes.

[@MosesTemu]

V Sync if it's in the game settings or G sync which you can set from the geforce experience app (or the geforce control panel) Built my desktop that I game on, and my Surface that I lighter games on. Before that Qosmio x300 , it was massive and heavy but I loved it. and it was my only PC at the time. Also, you already have a decent GPU in that laptop so you honestly won't see much improvement with games if you got a more powerful one to run externally. Mobile CPU that's in the laptop turns into a bottleneck. It's much more worth it for devices that have integrated GPUs.

[@shtiken]

Congrats on the laptop. The problem with gaming laptops though is that they get outdated quickly, as in lose value quickly, and you can't upgrade the graphics card, you did mention that last point though, but hey if you need portability you need portability, there's no way around it.

[@yaptus]

Omg i used to game mainly on my 3ds and iphone. Then i got Razer blade stealth and i am honestly blown away by it. This video just kinda reminds me of myself unboxing my gaming laptop. Such a nice feeling!!

[@TabalugaDragon]

thanks for a nice preview! Is this OLED screen though?

[@MisikajaMasipelaa]

No I think it's just regular IPS like all laptops

[@yonashpetit]

To fix screen tearing, turn on triple buffering, or vsync, however, you will sacrifice some FPS for it though.

[@Doncar97]

I know this has nothing to do with the video but you seem like you would know the answer, can I use my GameCube adapter for smash on a otg cable

[@rockyescape8989]

I was looking into eGPu and it's possible to make your MacBook into a gaming laptop (bootcamp) so long it has thunderbolt 3

[@christill]

I'd like to see how it works when you plug it into a tv with hdmi. Presumably it supports 4K gaming.

[@gearsofwill9]

screen tearing is fixed with vsync. or by limiting fps to under 60 or whatver your monitors refresh rate is. Just enable vsync unless it is a game where u are very worried about input lag. Most console games use vysnc with pc you have the choice to have it on or not.

[@Kekeripo]

If you didn't take the OLED screen options, i would have recommendet the gigabyte aero 15 over the AW13. And to fix screentearing: Limit FPS to your refreshrate of 60Hz/60FPS in the nvidia control panel. Makes it run cooler and quieter in most of the games, since it doesn't utelize the full power then.

[@lancety9260]

@Nihongogamer Use Vsync if there is an option there in KOF. It eliminates screen tearing but locks your fps.

[@DuELeMe]

Great PC !! like all ur videos Nihongo ;D

[@gungnir00]

Cool video, but how is it possible to know what screen tearing is called without knowing how to fix it?

[@kuci1986]

About screen tearing if there is setting to v-sync turn it on , or use some framerate limitter or nvidia inspecter

[@DeeeFoo]

V-sync is the option you want to enable to prevent screen-tearing.

[@Graves1]

i think you just sold me on getting the 13 R3 great video!!!

[@MisikajaMasipelaa]

Capt. Silverback DONT! JUST DONT! Alienware is the Apple of PC's being horribly overpriced. look into some pc's from Asus or Dell

[@lonelyboysole]

best thing to do is go into the nvidia settings and use FastSync, its doesnt give you input lag like vsync does but doesnt give you any tears.

[@spacedbrute1156]
